| + | ^Objective| Chronic neck pain, a prevalent health concern characterized by frequent recurrence, requires exploration of treatment modalities that provide sustained relief. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the durable effects of acupuncture on chronic neck pain.| | ||
| + | ^Methods| We conducted a literature search up to March 2024 in six databases, including PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library, encompassing both English and Chinese language publications. The main focus of evaluation included pain severity, functional disability, and quality of life, assessed at least 3 months post-acupuncture treatment. The risk of bias assessment was conducted using the Cochrane Risk of Bias 2.0 tool, and meta-analyses were performed where applicable.| | ||
| + | ^Results| **Eighteen randomized controlled trials** were included in the analysis. Acupuncture as an adjunct therapy could provide sustained pain relief at three (SMD: - 0.79; 95% CI - 1.13 to - 0.46; p < 0.01) and six (MD: - 18.13; 95% CI - 30.18 to - 6.07; p < 0.01) months post-treatment. Compared to sham acupuncture, acupuncture did not show a statistically significant difference in pain alleviation (MD: - 0.12; 95% CI - 0.06 to 0.36; p = 0.63). However, it significantly improved functional outcomes as evidenced by Northwick Park Neck Pain Questionnaire scores 3 months post-treatment (MD: - 6.06; 95% CI - 8.20 to - 3.92; p < 0.01). Although nine studies reported an 8.5%-13.8% probability of adverse events, these were mild and transitory adverse events.| | ||
| + | ^Conclusion| Acupuncture as an adjunct therapy may provide post-treatment pain relief lasting at least 3 months for patients with chronic neck pain, although it is not superior to sham acupuncture, shows sustained efficacy in improving functional impairment for over 3 months, with a good safety profile.| | ||

| + | ^Backgound| Stiff neck is a common acute musculoskeletal condition that significantly affects the quality of life of patients. Acupuncture is recommended as an effective method for alleviating pain and restoring neck mobility in patients with stiff neck, but there is currently a lack of scientific evidence supporting its efficacy and safety. The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of acupuncture in the treatment of stiff neck.| | ||
| + | ^Method| This study searched 8 Chinese and English electronic medical databases, including China Biology Medicine disc, VIP database, Wanfang Data, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library, with a search period up to May 13, 2024. The focus was on clinical randomized controlled trials evaluating acupuncture treatment for stiff neck. The primary outcome measures were the total effective rate and visual analog scale scores. The quality of evidence and methodology of the included studies were assessed according to the GRADEpro guidelines. Meta-analysis was conducted to assess the results, with heterogeneity analysis, sensitivity analysis, subgroup analysis, trial sequential analysis, and publication bias analysis performed to verify the robustness of the combined results and explore potential sources of heterogeneity.| | ||
| + | ^Result| This study evaluated **10 clinical randomized controlled trials** comparing acupuncture therapy with conventional treatment, involving **754 patients**. The treatment group received acupuncture alone or in combination with conventional treatment, whereas the control group received only conventional treatment. The analysis results showed that the treatment group was significantly superior to the control group in improving the total effective rate (risk ratio = 1.12, 95% confidence interval [CI] [1.04, 1.21], P = .002), reducing visual analog scale scores (mean difference [MD] = -0.93, 95% CI [-1.29, -0.57], P < .001), reducing neck disability index scores (MD = -6.39, 95% CI [-6.79, -6.00], P < .001), and restoring cervical range of motion (cervical lateral flexion: MD = 4.29, 95% CI [3.15, 5.43], P < .001; cervical rotation: MD = 6.08, 95% CI [4.46, 7.70], P < .001).| | ||
| + | ^Conclusion| Acupuncture is an effective and safe method for treating stiff neck. However, to validate this conclusion, more rigorously designed and higher-quality studies are needed in the future.| | ||

| + | ^Question| Which is the most effective conservative intervention for patients with non-specific chronic neck pain (CNSNP)?| | ||
| + | ^Design| A systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomised clinical trials.| | ||
| + | ^Participants| Adults with CNSNP of at least 3 months duration.| | ||
| + | ^Interventions| All available pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions.| | ||
| + | ^Outcome measure|The primary outcomes were pain intensity and disability. The secondary outcome was adverse events.| | ||
| + | ^Results|Overall, 119 RCTs (12,496 patients; 32 interventions) were included. Risk of bias was low in 50.4% of trials, unclear in 22.7% and high in 26.9%. Compared with inert treatment, a combination of active and/or passive multimodal non-pharmacological inventions (eg, exercise and manual therapy) were effective for pain on a 0-to-10 scale at 1 month (MD range 0.84 to 3.74) and at 3 to 6 months (MD range 1.06 to 1.49), and effective on disability on a 0-to-100 scale at 1 month (MD range 10.26 to 14.09) and 3 to 6 months (MD range 5.60 to 16.46). These effects ranged from possible to definite clinical relevance. Compared with inert treatment, anti-inflammatory drugs alone or in combination with another non-pharmacological treatment did not reduce pain at 1 month or 3 to 6 months. At 12 months, no superiority was found over inert treatment on both outcomes. Most mild adverse events were experienced following **acupuncture/dry needling intervention**. On average, the evidence varied from low to very low certainty.| | ||
| + | ^Conclusions|While multimodal non-pharmacological interventions may reduce pain and disability for up to 3 to 6 months of follow-up when compared with inert treatment, the evidence was very uncertain about their effects. Better quality and larger trials are needed to improve the certainty of evidence.| | ||

| + | ^Objective| To evaluate the efficacy of acupuncture-related therapy in the Bayesian setting by means of a network Meta-analysis.| | ||
| + | ^Methods| Relevant clinical randomized controlled trials(RCTs) of acupuncture-related therapy for Cervical Spondylotic Radiculopathy(CSR) were searched in the Chinese and English databases from the inception to November 13, 2023. Two researchers reviewed the literature, extracted the data, assessed the risk of bias of the included studies independently, and then used Stata14.0 and WinBUGs14 to analyze.| | ||
| + | ^Results| There are **28 RCTs** in total, of which **2593 patients** and 14 acupuncture interventions. Network Meta-analysis revealed that, regarding the VAS scores, Acupoint catgut-embedding, Fu's Subcutaneous Needling and Needle Knife are better than Conventional acupuncture, Electro-acupuncture, Sham needle, Western Medicine, and Electrotherapy; Conventional acupuncture is better than Electrotherapy and Sham needle; Qihuang needle is superior to Sham needle and Electrotherapy; besides, Acupoint catgut-embedding is better than Tuina (Message), Chinese Medicine, Warm needle as well. Regarding the NDI scores, Needle Knife, Warm needle, Fire needle, Long round needle, Acupoint catgut-embedding are better than Conventional acupuncture, Electro-acupuncture, and Cervical traction; Conventional acupuncture is superior to Electro-acupuncture, Cervical traction, Needle Knife and Warm needle; whereas we found Qihuang needle is superior to Acupoint catgut-embedding, besides, Need Knife is superior to Qihuang needle, Long round needle and Acupoint catgut-embedding. In terms of improving the Tanaka Yasuhiro 20-point scale scores(TY), Needle Knife and Qihuang needle are superior to Conventional acupuncture, Warm needle and Electro-acupuncture; moreover, Conventional acupuncture is better than Warm needle.| | ||
| + | ^Conclusion| In general, Acupoint catgut-embedding shows the best effect at relieving neck pain, then followed by Fu's Subcutaneous Needling and Needle Knife. Needle Knife is the best intervention in improving the functionality of the cervical spine. Like improving overall clinical performance, Needle Knife is the best treatment. Furthermore, our conclusion still needs to be confirmed by higher-quality documentation. In order to choose the best treatment for patients, clinicians are expected to take into account different clinical features and practical clinical settings with caution while choosing an acupuncture-related therapy in CSR.| | ||
| + | ^Key message| This article aims at selecting the best acupuncture-related treatment for clinicians to help patients in CSR, and the results of this study indicated that Acupoint catgut-embedding shows the best effect in relieving neck pain, Needle Knife shows the best effect in improving the functionality of cervical spine, Needle Knife shows the best effect in treating overall clinical performance.| | ||

| + | ^Background| Neck pain is a common musculoskeletal symptom that has negative effects on quality of life and work productivity. Acupuncture has been widely used for neck pain, and a number of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and systematic reviews (SRs) have evaluated its effectiveness. However, previous studies have obtained inconsistent results regarding the effects of acupuncture for neck pain, and there is no SR for the comparative efficacy and safety of various types of acupuncture. Therefore, we herein conducted a SR and network meta-analysis to compare and rank different types of acupuncture with respect to their effectiveness in treating neck pain.| | ||
| + | ^Methods| We searched 9 electronic databases for relevant RCTs published from their inception to July 1, 2021. Pairwise meta-analyses and network meta-analysis were performed with R software using the frequentist framework. Change of pain intensity was assessed as the primary outcome, and change of pain-related disability and efficacy rate were assessed as secondary outcomes. The Cochrane risk of bias tool and the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) instrument were used to evaluate the quality of the included RCTs and the certainty of the evidence.| | ||
| + | ^Results| A total of **65 RCTs involving 5266 participants** and **9 interventions** were included. Three network meta-analyses were constructed for the following: pain intensity (42 RCTs, 3158 participants), pain-related disability (21 RCTs, 1581 participants), and efficacy rate (40 RCTs, 3512 participants). The results indicated that fire acupuncture, electroacupuncture, and warm acupuncture were more effective than manual acupuncture in terms of pain intensity reduction and efficacy rate, and that electroacupuncture decreased pain-related disability more effectively than manual acupuncture. Fire acupuncture ranked first among the 9 interventions. The overall q of evidence was very low according to the GRADE assessment. The reported adverse events were not serious.| | ||
| + | ^Conclusion| Fire acupuncture, warm acupuncture, acupoint catgut embedding, and electroacupuncture ranked higher than other interventions (usual care, sham acupuncture, no treatment) in reducing the pain and disability index scores and the efficacy rate. However, the included trials were evaluated as being of low quality; thus, we recommend additional well-designed RCTs with larger sample sizes to confirm these findings.| | ||

| + | |||
| + | ^Background|Cervical spondylosis (CS) refers to the degenerative changes in the cervical spinal column, which affect the majority of middle-aged and elderly people. Thunder-fire moxibustion originated from thunder-fire miraculous needle, which has been applied widely for treating pain syndromes for thousands of years. | | ||
| + | ^Objective|The aim of our research is to provide evidence to assess the efficacy and safety of thunder-fire moxibustion in treating CS. Methods and analysis. Retrieved literature databases included Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, Web of Science, EBSCO, EBASE, Springer, PubMed, WFDP, CNKI, VIP, and CBM. The period of retrieval was from the establishment of the database to December 2018. Randomized controlled trials which compared thunder-fire moxibustion and other therapies in CS were included. The quality of inclusive trials was accessed though a Cochrane risk of bias tool. According to the test results of heterogeneity, a random effect model or fixed effect model was used to analyze the data. | | ||
| + | ^Results|Meta-analysis was conducted for the total effective rate of thunder-fire moxibustion, traditional Chinese medicine syndrome score, pain score, satisfaction score, and score of the symptoms and functional rehabilitation of cervical vertigo. The analysis results were as follows: compared with other therapies, the efficacy of thunder-fire moxibustion was statistically significant, total effective rate increased (OR = 2.48; 95% CI [1.80, 3.41]; P < 0.00001), traditional Chinese medicine syndrome score decreased (SMD = -3.05; 95% CI[-4.18, -1.93]; P < 0.00001), traditional Chinese medicine syndrome score decreased (SMD = -3.05; 95% CI[-4.18, -1.93]; P < 0.00001), traditional Chinese medicine syndrome score decreased (SMD = -3.05; 95% CI[-4.18, -1.93]; P < 0.00001), traditional Chinese medicine syndrome score decreased (SMD = -3.05; 95% CI[-4.18, -1.93]; P < 0.00001), traditional Chinese medicine syndrome score decreased (SMD = -3.05; 95% CI[-4.18, -1.93]. | | ||
| + | ^Conclusion|Based on the existing evidence, the curative effect and safety of thunder-fire moxibustion on CS were statistically significant. We should interpret the results scrupulously because of the low evidence level. Large-scale, high-quality, rigorous RCTs with long-term follow-up should be performed in the future. | | ||

| + | ^Objective: To systematically review the clinical efficacy and safety of heat-sensitive moxibustion (HSM) therapy for cervical spondylosis. | ||
| + | ^Methods|All randomized clinical trials (RCTs) on the clinical efficacy and safety of HSM therapy for cervical [spondylosis were searched in CNKI, VIP, Wanfang, CBM, Pubmed, Embase database and Cochrane library by electronic and manual retrieval. The methodological quality of included studies was assessed according to the Cochrane Handbook 5. 0 and the improved Jadad scale. Then the Meta-analysis was performed using Rev Man 5. 3 software. | | ||
| + | ^Results|A total of **16 literatures** were included, containing with a total of **1424 patients**. The baseline data of included studies were comparable. The Meta-analysis showed that: (1) Cure rate: thermal moxibustion VS traditional moxibustion, RR=2. 05, 95%CI (1. 57, 2. 67) (P<0. 01). Thermal moxibustion VS acupuncture, RR=1. 51, 95% CI (1. 10, 2. 07) (P<0. 05) , the differences were statistically significant. (2) Effective rate: thermal moxibustion VS traditional moxibustion, RR= 1. 23, 95%CI (1. 15, 1. 32) (P<0. 01). Thermal moxibustion plus acupuncture VS acupuncture, RR=1. 17, 95% CI (1. 08, 1. 26) (P<0. 01) , the differences were statistically significant. The sensitivity analysis showed the merged results were relatively stable. Only two literatures mentioned there were no adverse reactions during the test, and the other tests did not describe the adverse reactions. Funnel plot analysis showed a publication bias in the literature. | | ||
| + | ^Conclusion|**Thermal moxibustion therapy for cervical spondylosis is relatively effective and safe**, but the conclusion is not clear due to the limited literatures and the suboptimal methodological quality of RCTs. So more high-quality and multi-center RCTs with large sample are needed to confirm the clinical efficacy and safety of heat-sensitive moxibustion therapy. | | ||

| + | ^Background|Neck pain is a common and costly condition for which pharmacological management has limited evidence of efficacy and side-effects. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is a relatively uncommon, non-invasive treatment for neck pain, in which non-thermal laser irradiation is applied to sites of pain. We did a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials to assess the efficacy of LLLT in neck pain.| | ||
| + | ^Methods|We searched computerised databases comparing efficacy of LLLT using any wavelength with placebo or with active control in acute or chronic neck pain. Effect size for the primary outcome, pain intensity, was defined as a pooled estimate of mean difference in change in mm on 100 mm visual analogue scale.| | ||
| + | ^Findings| We identified **16 randomised controlled trials including a total of 820 patients**. In acute neck pain, results of two trials showed a relative risk (RR) of 1.69 (95% CI 1.22-2.33) for pain improvement of LLLT versus placebo. Five trials of chronic neck pain reporting categorical data showed an RR for pain improvement of 4.05 (2.74-5.98) of LLLT. Patients in 11 trials reporting changes in visual analogue scale had pain intensity reduced by 19.86 mm (10.04-29.68). Seven trials provided follow-up data for 1-22 weeks after completion of treatment, with short-term pain relief persisting in the medium term with a reduction of 22.07 mm (17.42-26.72). Side-effects from LLLT were mild and not different from those of placebo.| | ||
| + | ^Interpretation|We show that **LLLT reduces pain immediately after treatment in acute neck pain and up to 22 weeks after completion of treatment in patients with chronic neck pain.**| | ||

Evidence for the use of ischemic compression and dry needling in the management of trigger points of the upper trapezius in patients with neck pain: a systematic review. Am J Phys Med Rehabil. 2015. 94(7):573-83. [183455]. | ||
| + | ^Purpose|The aim of this review was to describe the effects of ischemic compression and dry needling on trigger points in the upper trapezius muscle in patients with neck pain and compare these two interventions with other therapeutic interventions aiming to inactivate trigger points. | | ||
| + | ^Methods|Both PubMed and Web of Science were searched for randomized controlled trials using different key word combinations related to myofascial neck pain and therapeutic interventions. Four main outcome parameters were evaluated on short and medium term: pain, range of motion, functionality, and quality-of-life, including depression. | | ||
| + | ^Results|**Fifteen randomized controlled trials** were included in this systematic review. There is moderate evidence for ischemic compression and **strong evidence for dry needling to have a positive effect on pain intensity**. This pain decrease is greater compared with active range of motion exercises (ischemic compression) and no or placebo intervention (ischemic compression and dry needling) but similar to other therapeutic approaches. There is moderate evidence that both ischemic compression and dry needling increase side-bending range of motion, with similar effects compared with lidocaine injection. There is weak evidence regarding its effects on functionality and quality-of-life. | | ||
| + | ^Conclusions|On the basis of this systematic review, ischemic compression and **dry needling can both be recommended in the treatment of neck pain patients with trigger points in the upper trapezius muscle**. Additional research with high-quality study designs are needed to develop more conclusive evidence.| | ||

| - | ^Background|Neck pain is a common and costly condition for which pharmacological management has limited evidence of efficacy and side-effects. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is a relatively uncommon, non-invasive treatment for neck pain, in which non-thermal laser irradiation is applied to sites of pain. We did a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials to assess the efficacy of LLLT in neck pain.| | ||
| - | ^Methods|We searched computerised databases comparing efficacy of LLLT using any wavelength with placebo or with active control in acute or chronic neck pain. Effect size for the primary outcome, pain intensity, was defined as a pooled estimate of mean difference in change in mm on 100 mm visual analogue scale.| | ||
| - | ^Findings| We identified **16 randomised controlled trials including a total of 820 patients**. In acute neck pain, results of two trials showed a relative risk (RR) of 1.69 (95% CI 1.22-2.33) for pain improvement of LLLT versus placebo. Five trials of chronic neck pain reporting categorical data showed an RR for pain improvement of 4.05 (2.74-5.98) of LLLT. Patients in 11 trials reporting changes in visual analogue scale had pain intensity reduced by 19.86 mm (10.04-29.68). Seven trials provided follow-up data for 1-22 weeks after completion of treatment, with short-term pain relief persisting in the medium term with a reduction of 22.07 mm (17.42-26.72). Side-effects from LLLT were mild and not different from those of placebo.| | ||
| - | ^Interpretation|We show that **LLLT reduces pain immediately after treatment in acute neck pain and up to 22 weeks after completion of treatment in patients with chronic neck pain.**| | ||

| + | ^OBJECTIVE|To systematically evaluate the clinical efficacy of wrist-ankle and wrist-ankle combined with other therapies in patients with cervical spondylotic radiculopathy. | | ||
| + | ^ Methods| Computer search CNKI, Wanfang database, CBM, PubMed, Embass, Medline database, the retrieval time is built to In May 2018, two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted literature data and assessed the risk of bias and analyzed the data using RevMan5.3 software. | | ||
| + | ^Results|A total of 12 RCTs were included, with a total sample size of 979 cases and a test group of 510 cases. 469 cases in the control group. Meta-analysis showed that 10 studies showed that the treatment of this disease was better in the treatment of this disease than in the non-wrist-ankle group [OR=2.79, 95% CI (1.87, 4.16) , P <0.00001], the simple wrist-twist group and the non-wrist-needle group were equally effective [OR=0.75, 95% CI (0.24, 2.31), P=0.62], while the combination therapy group was superior to the non-wristing group. The needle group [OR=3.14, 95% CI (1.99, 4.97), P<0.00001]; 8 studies showed that the wristband and the combination therapy group improved the VAS score of the patients better than the non-wrist ankle group [ WMD=-1.06, 95% CI (-1.69-0.43), P=0.001]. | | ||
| + | ^Conclusion|Wrist-ankle and its combination therapy are effective in treating the disease and alleviating pain. It is more advantageous than non-ankle-ankle acupuncture. However, due to factors such as the generally low quality and low quantity of the included literature, the conclusions of this study may be biased, and more high-quality randomized controlled double-blind trials will be needed in the future. verification. | | ||

| - | ^Objective: To systematically review the clinical efficacy and safety of heat-sensitive moxibustion (HSM) therapy for cervical spondylosis. | ||
| - | ^Methods|All randomized clinical trials (RCTs) on the clinical efficacy and safety of HSM therapy for cervical [spondylosis were searched in CNKI, VIP, Wanfang, CBM, Pubmed, Embase database and Cochrane library by electronic and manual retrieval. The methodological quality of included studies was assessed according to the Cochrane Handbook 5. 0 and the improved Jadad scale. Then the Meta-analysis was performed using Rev Man 5. 3 software. | | ||
| - | ^Results|A total of **16 literatures** were included, containing with a total of **1424 patients**. The baseline data of included studies were comparable. The Meta-analysis showed that: (1) Cure rate: thermal moxibustion VS traditional moxibustion, RR=2. 05, 95%CI (1. 57, 2. 67) (P<0. 01). Thermal moxibustion VS acupuncture, RR=1. 51, 95% CI (1. 10, 2. 07) (P<0. 05) , the differences were statistically significant. (2) Effective rate: thermal moxibustion VS traditional moxibustion, RR= 1. 23, 95%CI (1. 15, 1. 32) (P<0. 01). Thermal moxibustion plus acupuncture VS acupuncture, RR=1. 17, 95% CI (1. 08, 1. 26) (P<0. 01) , the differences were statistically significant. The sensitivity analysis showed the merged results were relatively stable. Only two literatures mentioned there were no adverse reactions during the test, and the other tests did not describe the adverse reactions. Funnel plot analysis showed a publication bias in the literature. | | ||
| - | ^Conclusion|**Thermal moxibustion therapy for cervical spondylosis is relatively effective and safe**, but the conclusion is not clear due to the limited literatures and the suboptimal methodological quality of RCTs. So more high-quality and multi-center RCTs with large sample are needed to confirm the clinical efficacy and safety of heat-sensitive moxibustion therapy. | | ||

Am J Phys Med Rehabil. 2015. 94(7):573-83. [183455]. | ||
| - | ^Purpose|The aim of this review was to describe the effects of ischemic compression and dry needling on trigger points in the upper trapezius muscle in patients with neck pain and compare these two interventions with other therapeutic interventions aiming to inactivate trigger points. | | ||
| - | ^Methods|Both PubMed and Web of Science were searched for randomized controlled trials using different key word combinations related to myofascial neck pain and therapeutic interventions. Four main outcome parameters were evaluated on short and medium term: pain, range of motion, functionality, and quality-of-life, including depression. | | ||
| - | ^Results|**Fifteen randomized controlled trials** were included in this systematic review. There is moderate evidence for ischemic compression and **strong evidence for dry needling to have a positive effect on pain intensity**. This pain decrease is greater compared with active range of motion exercises (ischemic compression) and no or placebo intervention (ischemic compression and dry needling) but similar to other therapeutic approaches. There is moderate evidence that both ischemic compression and dry needling increase side-bending range of motion, with similar effects compared with lidocaine injection. There is weak evidence regarding its effects on functionality and quality-of-life. | | ||
| - | ^Conclusions|On the basis of this systematic review, ischemic compression and **dry needling can both be recommended in the treatment of neck pain patients with trigger points in the upper trapezius muscle**. Additional research with high-quality study designs are needed to develop more conclusive evidence.| | ||
